Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby

Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby, written by John S. Mosby, recounts the experiences of the Confederate cavalry officer during the American Civil War. Published in the late 19th century, the memoirs detail Mosby's guerrilla warfare tactics that effectively harassed Union forces near Washington, D.C. Notable for his audacious raids, including the capture of a Union general, Mosby's actions made him a prominent figure in military history. After the war, he controversially supported U.S. Grant for president and held various positions, including U.S. Consul to Hong Kong.
